There was no tie-back, no reason for why the monster was there, like it was there fault to begin with. There was also no solution, just lots of shaky camera and a few montser shots.
When I make a movie, and it sucks, I hope people say nice things about it, rather than criticize it like I do.

Thats the whole point of Cloverfield. If a Godzilla like monster ever attacked, the common citizen wouldn't know what the hell is going on. Wouldn't know where it came from, would have no ties to it and would just be running like hell to try and save himself and the ones he loved. It would all be one massive clusterfuck of non-sensical violence.
For that Cloverfield was cool.
Yes there were some cheesy scenes, but all in all Cloverfield was a good original movie.
If you were expecting you run of the mill horror flick, then go rent a Carpenter film.
